Just a little note, search for it without quotes (I was wondering why it didn't work for me).
The question is not does it make a sound, nor is anyone around to hear it, but how did the tree got there in the first place.
It was probably left there when the Judoon transported Royal Hope Hospital back to Earth.

Someone fired a portal gun at the Moon as a joke, and got sucked in with a few nearby trees when the joke turned out deadly?

The XMS-2 Minishuttle has no equal to earn prestige points. The weakness is that you have to use a Titan /w SRMs that is a pretty deadly combo until well flight-proven. And the lowest-end (and cheapest) Centaur stage aka "Kicker-A booster", that can let you stranded around the Moon...
Well, of course, with money and a Saturn-V or Nova, those problems are solved

If she didn't hear him, then as far as she's concerned, he agreed with everything she said, and that makes it wrong to be upset with her for following through with what she planned/decided.
So, yes.

I thought our neighbours were doing some work on their house when I heard that deep hammer-like sound... Certainly some bigger tools I heard there...
My problem is always that you need to gather prestige points regularly from the beginning on and the XMS-2 is too expensive to start its program right after the Explorer and Mercury (which is my usual kind of playing, Explorer->Mercury->Gemini).
And since you need a Saturn V AND an XMS-2 to use it reliable and with enough payload for docking mechanisms or upper stages I always see that option as too expensive.

An idiot to be sure, but is it fair to say that a sufficiently powerful laser would melt the glass of a mirror?

It would rather melt everything of a mirror at enough power
After all, a mirror only reflects the wavelengths, it is designed for.

It depends on a lot of factors, but generally, he is right about a mirror being somewhat ineffective as a laser defense. It'd have to be an absolutely perfect mirror, which doesn't exist. If it would exist, you could also make a laser by using a perfect mirror, which's power would only be limited by the power you are able to supply. It stands to reason that any laser can always beat a "defense mirror" of same quality if it has the necessary power, since it can deliver the photons onto a much smaller area than it uses to focus the beam. Hence if you tax a mirror to the max, a defending mirror with the same properties will always be defeated. Sure, with a perfect mirror, the maximum power you can put into the beam is infinity, but mathematically it still works out. Since a perfect mirror is just as hypothetical as infinite power, we might as well think it to the end...
